Although there was a range ofstudent scores on these questions, we set a performance threshold designed to reflect whether ornot students had mastered the challenging concept behind the question. For Fall 2018, studentswho scored above a 9/10 on the challenging question were considered to have mastered theconcept, and for Winter 2019, students had to score a 7.5/10 or higher.In order to examine whether completing the take-home tests influenced performance on thechallenging questions on the final exams, we conducted chi squared tests for independence.

. In mathematics, symbols have dualism. Symbols infigures 2B, for example, abbreviate mathematical register and present concepts, ideas,calculations and formula. Sentence in figure 2C shows an extreme use of symbols where everywords and sentence have been replaced by symbols. Symbols in mathematical, physical andengineering sciences are utilized to compress mathematical, physical and engineering registers,and they contain more ideas, and concepts than regular and vernacular prose. As a result,comprehending mathematical registers (as a focus of this work) requires understanding the wordsand their relationships to symbols. One also needs to master their meanings and applications.Guide for Graphic Organizer with Mathematical and Scientific Texts
